Humane Society International/UK is proud to present Stand Up For Animals, a night of fantastic live comedy at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre by some of the UK’s best-loved comedians, all in aid of HSI’s vital work to protect animals from cruelty and suffering.

We’ve got a great line-up so far, with more to be confirmed soon,* so watch this space for the latest news and interviews.

The current Stand Up For Animals line-up includes:

Holly Walsh (“An excellent comic, with a flair for lateral-thinking gags and an offbeat stage presence that makes her like a slightly nerdy, very friendly and intensely funny older sister.” The Guardian)

Lucy Porter (“...such an accomplished and flirtatious performer, with such faultlessly fast and articulate delivery... [She] possesses one of the quickest brains on the circuit when it comes to hecklers.” The Guardian)

Andrew O’Neill (“Brilliant, genuinely unexpected lines ... at this rate, it won’t be long before he’s huge.” Chortle)

Hal Cruttenden (“Without doubt, one of the funniest comics on the circuit—a very clever man indeed.” TimeOut)

Stand Up For Animals will raise vital funds for some of HSI’s key campaigns such as protecting British wildlife and ending animal suffering from bullfighting, shark finning, the fur trade, factory farming, animal testing and more. Watch a video about our work

Mark Jones, executive director of HSI/UK, said: ''Stand Up For Animals will be a great night of laughter and entertainment that will help protect endangered or abused animals at the same time. We’re delighted to be hosting fantastic comedians at such a well-established comedy venue—our grateful thanks to everyone involved.”
